Crowdfunding Your Product to Success

Businesses, artists, nonprofits and others raised $2.7 Billion in 2012 through platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The market is predicted to more than double in 2013. The success of crowdfunded products such as the Pebble watch ($10M raised from 69,000 backers) have prompted an explosion of campaigns.
